Here's the lyrics video guys
ua-cam.com/video/_8BEFuQcbPM/v-deo.html
The production, my god the production. so many little details, so damn creative. Love the vid aesthetic too
The "nope" she says a split second before the first chorus is my favorite part of it all
What i wouldn't do for a logic session breakdown.
We want a colaaabbbb
Check out her collaboration with Pomplamoose for "Monster", thats another production triumph.
josh !! definitely did not expect to see you here ,,
My interpretation: dodie at the beginning is delivering messages. Not only were they unanswered, but trying to send them was getting so difficult (sitting still with a brain on fire) she does some of it blindfolded (eyes closed isn’t helping). She had to send these messages, she wants to. But it’s so difficult, no responses, she cuts her hand, falls under the weight of her messages and what she wants to express.
I believe the song is about realising you have dated a pattern of partners who perhaps aren’t artistic or on the same intellectual plain as you are. They don’t want to talk about deep things, you do. You feel you can’t share you thoughts (I don’t think they get me dear) but you tried to make him/her ‘bloom’. And it ends up feeling like you’re the one with the problem.
I believe at the end when she gets the uniform that’s her accepting exactly who she is and confidently goes about delivering her messages exactly as she wants without all the issues. She’s able to see herself differently, as a strong person who will indeed send her messages out all over the world as loud as she wants, and perhaps is realising she would need a partner to be as loud and unapologetic as herself.
Great song, great video. LOVE this new era of Dodie. Gone is the yellow and the soprano uke. Dodie has clearly studied music a great deal and I’m super proud of the talented woman she has become. Her self awareness and journey are pretty amazing really.
Yep, this is pretty much my exact interpretation as a person who has gone through relationships like these.
I also interpretted it as she having to try really hard to send these messages. She was unable to do it efficiently at first, but now she understands how and works towards it (literaly, works- in the video) and then she can do it way better when she finally delivers the messages and accepts it even if its unanswered (like you mentioned). At the end, she feels lighter, like a weight has been lifted off her, and she starts floating.
i had that with my best friend, we haven't talked for months now...
Wow, I absolutely love this interpretation.
Thanks for sharing this -- I had the same thoughts about the beginning, but I hadn't figured out the uniform thing. Love the way you put that. Of course, Dodie could come on and say that our interpretations are all misguided, but barring that I think you've done a pretty good job :)
She's a postwoman bcos her voice and music always deliver
underrated comment
HAHA GOOD ONE
*badum tss* 🥁
Smooth
HOW CAN A GIRL THAT SINGS IN LOWERCASE MAKE SUCH A BOP
I'M SCREAMING, YOU'RE SO RIGHT
She's built different 😍
I've never seen her type in uppercase
That kind of energy is rare these days
I love that she used a rural Cornish fishing village, the village I live in no less, even used my dad and stepmums letter box! Loved the music video
yo that's crazy, the letterbox is so valuable now lol
Does anyone know what village it is
@@14Lucyloo pretty sure its Polperro harbour
Yes its polperro harbour :)
What a gorgeous place to live
As someone with ADHD, this song encompasses the feeling of RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Disorder) where if i perceive any form of rejection from someone I care about I immediately overthink and get immense anxiety. If someone I care about who usually opens up to me suddenly shut down around me I would probably sense myself into a spiral like the lyrics of this song
Same and yes. So strongly. Or being unable to read the social cues and blaming ourselves
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Adhd squad stand up XD ✌️
I feel the same way.
This has become my theme song for "I'm not alone." It helps me remember that it's not real and I can deal with it.
Same,dang it!
postwoman dodie would be a dream, i cant believe how nobody's talking about this
she delivers mail and serotonin🥺💛
She delivers emotions
Isn't that a police officer... do postal worker salute... I'm confused...
@@ashleigh8086 both
@@ashleigh8086 the symbol on the hat means post office 🏤
that woman watching dodie through the window and nodding approvingly at the end is all of us
bahaha
Edit: This is a quote from the pre-livestream video. Please read the comments below for link and important notes :)
“It’s actually about passive aggression, it’s interesting, it’s more about when- I think it’s like a feeling that I have to deal with when someone else in my life, be it a partner or a friend, like, goes quiet, like, thinks introspectively and deals with their problems internally, I freak out, ‘cause I’m like, ‘I’m the problem,’ like, ‘what have I done, to make you feel upset?’ And that’s probably coming from past trauma.” She also mentioned a comment describing it as “finding anxiety in someone’s silence.” -Dodie (ua-cam.com/video/EC3M1j-jOJQ/v-deo.html)
I love everything about this. That last line is *chef's kiss* Whenever my social anxiety kicks in, or i've just come out to someone, or in an argument, even just in a casual conversation... my mind fills that silence with anxious thoughts I *know* are probably not true but I can't *help* it! So relatable.
I think it's worth mentioning that the "it's actually about passive aggression" was someone else's interpretation of the song, whereas the rest is her answer to that, which suggests that it is NOT about passive aggression (to Dodie)
@@naouelieasha7978 Dodie talks about the meaning of the song here if anyone wants to check it out! This is the video cited as the source for the quote. There's no closed captions, unfortunately, but I was able to tell Dodie really felt the “finding anxiety in someone’s silence" was the takeaway. Any song's open to interpretation of course, and thank you for commenting! I'm hard of hearing, so I was going off the written quote. ua-cam.com/video/EC3M1j-jOJQ/v-deo.html
@@sheregenerated13 So to be more precise, the way I understood how she said it was: "it's actually about ... *interrupts herself to read a comment* -- passive aggression is interesting! -- it’s more about when etc...". Anyhow I'm really happy to see this part of the livestream here because it was very instructive and it resonated with me too! To me, this whole mood is kinda the result of my panicky ADHD brain, talkative nature and constant self doubt haha (Oh and "finding anxiety in someone’s silence” was indeed such a well summed up beautiful description!)
Yes!! I suffer from characteristics of Borderline Personality Disorder and I really fucking appreciated this song. I didn't know how much I needed it until now
What about when it is true? I'm terrified of people thinking I'm evil or otherwise canceling me. It's not irrational to think that I might be a bad person and have this huge blind spot that prevents me from seeing it.
This is a clear hat tip to Kiki's delivery service and I am shocked that no one is commenting on it. The deliveries, the costumes, the cat, the stairs, the floating in the end
OMG IT IS
i thought it was influenced on klaus
I mean I wouldn't say it's a *clear* hat tip but I can see what you mean.
Maybe I have a bias though since my ex who got me into dodie hated all animated movies and shows because she saw them as childish so... idk, le shrug
I just don't see it as something to link between the two personally
FUCKED UP HOW GOOD THIS IS
TWO QUEENS
LOVE U
Hi!!
The truth we all can't deny
WAAAAA love u
LOOK AT DODIE WORKING TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION. Through the POSTAL SERVICE
OH I UNDERSTAND NOW, THIS IS SUCH A GENIUS MUSIC VIDEO
AAHAHAHA
OH MY GOSH im legally blind for this one.
How did I not get it? that's such a good metaphor
OH THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING
I've been obsessively rewatching this, it's brilliant!
soo good!
I think I've watched it about 5 times over the last month.
Me too. I decided to put myself out there and try online dating. This is my current anthem at the moment
As someone who struggles with compulsively trying to meet the needs of my partners, this song hits. To me, the meaning is literal, and when people are quiet and I can't read their vibe, I blame myself for doing something wrong and hate myself - even when I didn't do anything wrong and everything's actually fine. Thanks dodie. I feel seen. I don't think I can help it, but I'm working on being kinder to myself.
She is the main character in an imaginary Ghibli movie.
Dodie's delivery service, let's go!
I want it so badly to become a ghibli movie now 😳
I would watch that
I mean there was the whole..violet evergarden series on letters.
@@SoAS26 yess thats the vibes it gave me!
dodie trains for postal service olympics, gets old lady’s approval and ascends
10/10 would watch again
For me, this song is about overcoming struggles with mental health. Dodie has to practice being a good postwoman over and over again and it's difficult work. She fails a few times but eventually, she gets to the part where she is able to let go of the letters (maybe a representation of her thoughts) and sees the light at the end. I know there are lots of interpretations of this and I think it's beautiful that Dodie has been able to relate to so many through her music in so many ways!
yey a self-loathing song that's actually bopping and doesn't really sound depressing :)) my self-hating playlist will like this
Please seek help- it will be so worth it in the end :)
Can you link your self hating playlist....TIA
Honestly - as a postman - HARD relate.
HAHA omg
Thank youuu for being fab! You guys dont get enough appreciation xxx
Heck yes! I'd vote for you.
SAME!!!
Same 😩👉🏻👈🏻
I love the metaphor in trying your hardest to deliver a message to other people so much :) when other people fall silent and you feel like it's your fault you want to overcompensate in communication really bad (at least that's how I interpreted it)
I relate to this sooo so much
That is something I've been trying to work on.
I think your spot on! That’s exactly what dodie talked about on her interview with bbc radio 1
I relate to this so much
Thank you for sharing! I was confused how the video related to the song but that’s brilliant!!
As an autistic person, I relate to the lyrics so much. I find it almost impossible to read social cues. Unless people say what they're feeling or what I need to do for them,I have a very hard time.
One of the things I hate the most is when people get upset or go silent over something I did without explaining why it hurt them. Because since I rarely know how others feel about things, I'm clueless about my supposed wrongdoings. In that little window of silence,I hate myself more than the usual amount.
Me too
I'm crying :,)
That’s exactly how I felt listening to it - and people just leave or stop talking without saying anything and it’s like I don’t understand what’s happened or when you got upset with what was happening please tell me!!
YES AGREED
I've had it were I noticed what people think I just block it out or don't know that I noticed it. When I look back on some situations I realise that in reality, I knew about a certain thing all along I just had no idea how to formulate it.
[Verse 1]
Could it be different? Did I ruin the day?
Oh, do you look angry? Oh, what did I say?
Filling in the gaps, build a problem that
Neither of us needs, something wrong with me (Mmh-mmh-mmh)
I'm getting desperate, losing my mind
Oh, how do we get here, every time?
One will fold their arms, one will do the dance
Really is no need, something wrong with me
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't think I can help it (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!)
(Nope)
[Chorus]
Oh, so illogical, I'm not magical, I can't read your mind
But how can you not hear the whole conversation?
I have, sitting still with a brain on fire
I know, it's a me-thing
Eyes closed - isn't helping?
When you go quiet, I hate myself
When you go quiet, I hate myself
[Verse 2]
Look at you sideways, playing a game
Oh, what if I laugh now, think I'm insane
Filling in the gaps, build a problem that
Neither of us needs, something wrong with me
Pushing a boundary, something to prove
Strong expectation, you already lose
Oh, one will fold their arms, one will do the dance
Really is no need, something wrong with me
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't think I can help it (K)
[Chorus]
Oh, so illogical, I'm not magical, I can't read your mind (Read your mind)
But how can you not hear the whole conversation?
I have, sitting still with a brain on fire (Brain on fire)
I know, it's a me-thing
Eyes closed - isn't helping?
When you go quiet, I hate myself
When you go quiet, I hate myself
[Bridge]
Give me a mystery
Maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones
Oh, something here must be done
I'm hoping I'm ready here
Don't think they get me, dear
I'm only proving how
I'm only worth losing now
Give me a mystery, maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones, something here must be done
I'm hoping I'm ready here, don't think they get me, dear
(When you go quiet, I hate myself)
Don't think they get me, dear
(No I don't...)
Give me a mystery, maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones, something that must be done
I'm hoping I'm ready here, don't think they get me, dear
(When you go quiet, I hate myself)
Don't think they get me, dear
[Outro]
No, I don't think (Don't think they get me here)
I can help it (Don't think they get me here)
No, I don't think (Don't think they get me here)
I can help it (When you go quiet, I hate myself)
(Don't think they get me here)
No, I don't think (Don't think they get me here)
I can help it (Don't think they get me here)
No, I don't think (Don't think they get me here)
I can help it (When you go quiet, I hate myself)
No, I don't think
I can help it
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
thanks ^^

alright I'm back to say HOLY HECK IM SO INLOVE WITH THIS SONG

Dodie's voice sounds like the aural equivalent of drinking a cup of tea
Such an accurate description
I was drinking tea as I watched this video and yes, that’s accurate. Tea with sugar and cream!
i've never had honey tea but that's what i think of when i hear her voice
@@ratboygirl ooo yeah! Chamomile with lots of honey
Here's the lyrics video guys
ua-cam.com/video/_8BEFuQcbPM/v-deo.html
Dodie: *Rolls up trousers*
*Sweater Weather plays in the background*
ITS TO COOOOOOOOOOLD
To me this song is about social anxiety and the video is about learning to live with it in a healthy way
As someone who is usually "the one who goes quiet" but has also occasionally been the "I hate myself" in one of these kinds of dynamics, this song really resonates. The whole idea of building a problem that isn't there, racking your brain trying to parse clues and signs that don't actually exist. My understanding of the video is that it's just about working on more effective, direct communication and how developing that interpersonal skill can be a way to lift yourself out of that anxious place of cyclical thinking (as represented by her elevating out of the dark, dusty post office and into the light at the end). Wonderful song + video.
Well said 👏🏻👏🏻
I love your understanding of it the best so far
yesss, and maybe like sending those messages about how she feels that the "cool girl" was too scared to talk about?
@@anikasharma1804 Ohhh, that's a really clever tie-in! I love that idea!
@@ameenahhhh thank youuu so much, this legit made my day, no joke
i’m never NOT impressed- i seriously love this.
right?? as it ended I found myself saying: i love this i love this i love this
gotta love dodie
Hi Addison!! Fancy seeing another one of my favourite singers here!
@Addison Grace took the words right out of my mouth. Everything from the lyrics, the concept, the choreography, the lyrics, the little extra background vocals you don’t even hear until your third time through. Amazing. Btw I also adore your music. Such great artists the two of you!!
Here's the lyrics video guys
ua-cam.com/video/_8BEFuQcbPM/v-deo.html
Ikr! Truly a work of art
and then there's me thinking "I wanna live wherever she's filming rn"
Me too polperro is absolutely one of my favourite places in the entire world!
Ok but the lady who gave her the thumbs up in the end was literally the cutest
it's always so GOOD. Love your work!
Was NOT expecting to see you here but it's a welcome surprise. Glad to have you on the dodie train
RT?????
OH MY GOD hi rt 🥺 worlds colliding rn
well hello daniel
she should do a song to monkey clock dont u think
I hate myself too wow
mood
don’t we all
We all have so much in common
Hi Evan XD
#relatable
As someone with anxiety dating someone with bipolar depression who has days where he goes nearly nonverbal, I hard relate to "When you go quiet, I hate myself." I keep trying to sing along cause the song is SUCH a banger but I just keep crying (oops!). Fabulous, dodie!! Can't wait for the album
This is phenomenal. The aesthetics, the concept of this postwoman and her struggles, her voice, this calm, soft song..... I mean.... I can't describe it.
So the symbolism could be, that we think we can only "deliver" when we're doing so perfectly. Constantly striving for perfection, but in the end, what we needed to release ourself and give ourself fully to others, was already there.
She could've put on that uniform in the beginning, she still did what she needed to do, self restraint is harsh.
Just my own interpretation.
Ooh I love this interpretation! I'm still tryna work out what the ending means
Love that!!!
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking the ending confuses me though. Is she feeling lifted up because of her self discovery?
NITW!!
Or she watched Violet Evergarden.
I’ve suffered with eating disorders for years, and tonight, I’ve decided it’s time to get help. I keep listening to this song to remind me of the feeling I had when I finally decided I need help so that I don’t forget in the morning.
Edit: I’m officially in a treatment facility!!!
Congratulations! All the best for this process x
May the winds fill your sails and the skies smile down on you
Love, light, peace and blessings to youu!!
Sup! I'm also having some eating issues I'm dealing with right now, so I'm wishing you the best! You got this :)
@@themardbard9096 thanks! I wish you all the best.
Everyone else is making music videos about love storys and parties, meanwhile dodie is out here becoming a post god
The way this song explains anxiety perfectly.
I love this!!
I interpreted it as the use of the envelopes as containers of words and problems. You're not sure how to not be overwhelmed by the weight of the baggage of them all and then eventually let go. By delivering them to the recipient and taking control of the situation, you learn that words and their weight aren't always your own to receive.
THIS.
@@frogdude327 im so glad you agree!!
Yessss I saw the envelopes as thoughts
Here's the lyrics video guys
ua-cam.com/video/_8BEFuQcbPM/v-deo.html
I really appreciate that the cinematography in the later half. The shots move slower and is more stable as if they aren’t in a rush/mess delivering these “letters”. Then this uniform dodie wears and her ascension ignoring all those “letters” gives this an up note end for me. Awesomeness!!
Such a great song! Pretty sure the location here is Polperro, an absolutely beautiful little place on the south coast of Cornwall - definitely recommend a visit!
Yes it is Polperro. A little gem of a place.
The grandma in the window is one of my favorite details lol
"When you go quiet I hate myself" is such a powerful line
why is that so relatable
@@kheonataracatac5601 Coz ex bfs SUCK
ShEEt shEEt shEEt. It's not supposed to be this relatable!
Why does every Dodie song just make me feel like... *SHE GETS IT*
Because she gets it!
1:09 could that possibly be a ‘spit to the left, just carry on and smile and say your good’? Or am I overthinking
i had this same question!!
She really delivered the message
Dodie *Intense training*
Random: "What are you training for? Competition?"
Dodie: "A delivery position at the post."
BRO THE GUILTLESS VIBES AT THE END
1:51 god I loved this
Totally freaked out by the fact that I saved this song on a personal playlist yesterday as a hard relate and then discovered the music video is set where I grew up.. What.
Can already tell this song is going to be a ✨mood✨
I love how she keeps going, smiling head held high, but the voices don't go away. You learn to live with it I guess.
We have immortalised the dodie dots with this mv YAYYY 🙌
This is so 'Klaus' I'm obsessed
Me: *sees new dodie song
*immediately clicks
Doddle: premises in THREE DAYS!!
like waiting for build a problem patiently ain’t enough
Words ain't enough
IT'S TIME
Welp she did build a problem for us >.
"Special Thanks:
Artie The Cat"
the respect he deserves
Really looked at this song's lyrics. I couldn't have needed this more now as I await my official diagnosis. Although it may have not been intended that way, I took this to heart and related it to how I'm like with my Favorite Person relationships-the way I overthink, catastrophize, devalue, split, and idealize. It's been a rough decade, I'll say. But I'm thankful for this beautiful piece of art and the amount of time and execution it took to make it happen. Sending all love
I love this, layers of meaning in the craftmanship, so clever!
“When you go quiet, I hate myself” oof this line I-
As someone who constantly overthinks and cares so much about how the other person is feeling when with me, this line resonates so loudly. Thank you Dodie for managing to voice my subconscious thoughts
I do the same thing, and it’s kept me from doing things I want to do, or putting myself out there. So i’ve lived a pretty boring life. This puts into words something I could never.
As the person who gets quiet, I'm sorry. I was brought to believe my feelings are not important, and it's something that's hard to overcome, especially with people who are important to me. I'm trying to be better every time, but it takes a while to unlearn just crawling into your shell.
@@catvalentine4317 not at all! I didn’t mean to make people who are quiet guilty in anyway, I myself can be quiet a lot of the time and I completely understand the sentiment of not fully expressing yourself because you feel that your own feelings are not as important. I always seem to blame myself both ways, whether I’m being loud or quiet, my main issue being the fact that I overthink everything 😅 but I am also trying to improve on voicing my thoughts since I now know that I have people who want to hear them and I’m sure you do too! Sorry if this was presumptuous or invasive but best of luck to you in your journey to opening up😊
I'm sitting in my bedroom crying over a mailwoman's success story and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing right now.
2:21 huge guiltless + human vibes!!! beautiful
Magnificent ! I can't help but drink a glass of organic apple juice thinking of those 437 people who seem to dislike the talents of this talented person! The world will always amaze me ... Thank you for this beautiful evocation of human stupidity. However the key word concerning the survival of humanity is well: "communication".
One element of the postal service training I think is interesting is that from an outside perspective, it seems like a job that doesn't require a lot of effort, or at least the amount of effort that dodie is putting in during the video. And I think this means that the job choice is partly to emphasize that the average person does not look for these problems within their day to day to life or job. (Also many other interpretations and layers to it of course!)
lyrics!
ty for the quick lyrics I have a hard time when there is no captions!
Thanks! It helps me to better understand because I am still learning English. ;)
@@sherlockp5482 yes I do too I find lyrics rly useful, and np!! :)
@@hannahh8119 glad I could help :)
Thank you so useful!
I love the "mm mm mm" At the beginning of the the song 😊
Letters are a physical representation of people talking. The fact dodie is delivering letters could be a reference to her speaking and not receiving letters herself (not having a reply). This is definitely a push, but it seems like she gets better at delivering her letters (words) as the video and time progress. This is because she is starting to understand her fault (finding anxiety in other peoples silence) and has started to accept and explain it better. In writing this song we can see dodie is aware and therefore able to talk about the fault easier.
Thank you
God, Dodie - you're so GOOD.
LEENA!!!!!
🥺 my two favourite humans together
Here's the lyrics video guys

❤ she is and so are you 💓
Hey can I use your guys's phone for a sec?
to everyone who relates to the title, you are so loved.
“oh i don’t think i can help it” on the second time the bridge plays is when dodie wraps a bandaid around her paper cut. i like to think it’s the music video alluding to the fact that, in fact, can be helped. changing the people who we allow in our life and changing our boundaries (her putting on the uniform) can help a lot more than we think.
When you realise life is hard and dodie brings out a new song and suddenly the worlds just a bit brighter. Thank you
Lyrics!!
Could it be different?
Did I ruin the day?
Oh do you look angry?
Oh what did I say?
Filling in the gaps
Build a problem that
Neither of us need
Something wrong with me
I'm getting desperate
Losing my mind
Oh how do we get here
Every time?
One will fold their arms
One will do the dance
Really is no need
Something wrong with me
No, I don't think
I can help it
(No)
Oh so illogical
I'm not magical
I can't read your mind
But how can you not hear
The whole conversation I have sitting still with a brain on fire?
I know it's a me thing
Eyes closed isn't helping
When you go quiet I hate myself
When you go quiet I hate myself
Look at you sideways
Playing a game
Oh what if I laugh now?
I think I'm insane
Filling in the gaps
Build a problem that
Neither of us need
Something wrong with me
Pushing a boundary
Something to prove
Strong expectation
You already lose
Oh one will fold their arms
One will do the dance
Really is no need
Something wrong with me
No, I don't think
I can help it
Oh so illogical
I'm not magical
I can't read your mind
But how can you not hear
The whole conversation I have sitting still with a brain on fire?
I know it's a me thing
Eyes closed isn't helping
When you go quiet I hate myself
When you go quiet I hate myself
Give me a mystery
Maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones
Oh something here must be done
I'm open and ready here
I don't think they get me, dear
I'm only proving how
I'm only worth losing now
Give me a mystery
Maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones
Something here must be done
I'm open and ready here
I don't think they get me, dear
(When you go quiet I hate myself)
I don't think they get me, dear
Give me a mystery
Maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones
Something here must be done
I'm open and ready here
I don't think they get me, dear
(When you go quiet I hate myself)
I don't think they get me, dear
No, I don't think (I don't think they get me)
I can help it (I don't think they get me)
No, I don't think (I don't think they get me)
I can help it (I don't think they get me)
(When you go quiet I hate myself)
No, I don't think (I don't think they get me)
I can help it (I don't think they get me)
No, I don't think (I don't think they get me)
I can help it
(When you go quiet I hate myself)
No, I don't think
I can help it
How did you know already!?!?! Haha
YOU’RE AMAZINGGGGG
Omg thank you :)
Dang it, great job! Just cannot put the clip with the lyrics, which is usually a thing for Dodie. Can you see any correlation?
Thank you💞 Here's some more..
Look at you sideways,
I'm playing a game.
Oh, what if i laugh now?
Would you think i'm insane? (..idk)
Filling in the gaps
Build a problem that
Neither of us need
Something wrong with me
Pushing a boundry,
Something to prove.
Strong expecTAtion,
You ready loose.
Oh, one will fold their arms
One will do the dance,
really is no need,
Something wrong with me...
No, i don't think
i can help it
the ending part is a divine cross between “bittersweet symphony” and a Sufjan Stevens song, anyone feel that?? So good!
That’s so perfect of an analysis
Yesssss the chords repeating round and round sound like bittersweet symphony! And I can think of an exact sufjan Stevens song that it reminds me of - sounds a little like Chicago!
Here's the lyrics video guys

Omg yesss
oh my god you're so right !!
"Hate Myself" entered the New Alternative 40 Chart this week at #30!
I always find myself relating to Dodie's music, but this one in particular hits really close to home. I'm autistic, and have really bad anixety, so I tend to overthink conversations. Someone replies to a text a little late? They secretly hate me. What if what I said came off as rude? I need to apologize or they won't want to be my friend anymore. We haven't talked in a while, this must mean they've forgotten I exist.
idk, just needed to get that off my chest, lol
Me too. I'm also autistic and my anxiety is quite bad... What I'm trying to say is that relate to every sentence in your comment.
I have several half theories as to the meanings of things in this video.
Sorting through mail = trying to sort out nonverbal "messages" from the other
Trying to get better at sending the mail = trying to get better at expressing the conversations that swirl in your mind "on fire"
The fact that she does get better and is in uniform at the end may represent her feeling that she's gotten better at communicating in relationships or at sorting through her thoughts that lead to her hating herself based on the silence of someone who matters to her.
Ooh I think the intense physical training is representative of intense mental training because of having something like social anxiety. Or even just insecurity.
bro these are so good‼️‼️
@@lyric6719 wow, thank you! Haha
Also the fact that she at the end can uses a blindvold to do it quicker, so maybe overthinking everything and ever conversation is part of it? By using the blindfold she stops overthinking the proces with the letters
And it’s such a ridiculous overreaction to posting letters to train for it Rocky style. So she is overthinking it to the point of it being silly because she wants everything to be exactly right. She overanalyses everything and feels like everyone’s happiness depends on her. That’s how I interpret it!
Here's the lyrics video guys

okay but this training montage is more compelling than 90% of movie montages i just want postwoman dodie to succeed 🥺🥺 live ur dreams, postwoman dodie!!! deliver those letters!!!
I LOVE this! The sounds, the sounds! All the squeaks of the guitar, the layers of the instruments, and I especially love the little taps during the chorus! And your voice pairs so well with it! This is great!
There are no words to describe how it felt when I listened to this song for the first time. I'd never known how to put that feeling into words. I remember listening to it afterwards on repeat in bed, crying my eyes out with happiness and sadness.
the picture is so cute omg my heart
I know it's the hat.
It's like when a lil kid smiles at you with a salute.

@@llll-lk2mm YES
@@gabriellewright2942 dodie as a postwoman do be 👌🏽
Oh my gosh this is incredible... I'm trying to move past my habit of attempting to mind read everyone around me and just learn to "put on the blindfold" like in the music video which I think represents not trying to read too much into things and get into the habit of trusting what you're doing in your relationships. This is so helpful for my journey Dodie and as always the tune is so catchy!!
niceee!
unfortunately, i started to listen to your music right as something sad happened irl, and now whenever i hear your music i get really sad, which is a shame since i loved it.
hope you keep growing girl.
i love everything about this. ugh.

Like you!
why did I tear up when you saluted at the lady
